Build 89

[timns]

Folks,

I just uploaded build 89 here

A few bugs fixed, and some new features to bring the program to a point where I can start adding the features I've got in mind after nudone's wondrous suggestions.

I am especially interested to learn if this build works in a more friendly way with a few of the programs mentioned in Redmine:

* Forte agent
* JP Soft products
* Roboform
* iScribe
* Spam Combat

Also, I'd like to know if we're doing better with things like ctrl+enter, win+G, alt-something-or-other

Thanks!

* Basic Wizard form now in place and working

We're off to see the wizard…

[cranioscopical]

in a quick first pass, Auspex seems generally well behaved in Forté Agent, and Take Command, and 4NT, and Roboform.

used wizard to create aus -> Auspex; wizard worked nicely for that
in Forté Agent "aus" works as Auspex unless it's fired by anything other than a space, otherwise "auspex"
in JP Software 4NT "aus" works as Auspex unless it's fired by anything other than a space, otherwise "auspex"
in JP Software Take Command "aus" produces auspex (no capitalization) no matter what

minimizing is better on my system (XP SP3)
Auspex now minimizes only to the tray when set to do so
the only way to display the window from the tray is to right-click the "tray icon/show" item; left-clicking does nothing (should it?)

problem with Roboform fixed

pop-up still in the wrong place for stuff like console windows or, say, Adobe Illustrator which has a gazillion text entry points (good luck with that one!)

I guess we're approaching the borders of Kansas, Dorothy.

I've tried re-indexing, closing and re-opening but no triggers for replacements work... only the autocompletion popups show and work.

Also there is a ghost tab in the task bar when 'closing' to tray.

Then the wizard : works fine for 'Replacements' but not for 'Completions', with the latter you just get an empty entry in the word list which gives an error when you delete it.

xp etc.

When you installed the new build, did you also definitely replace the .dll also? I'm sure you did, but I have to ask since it's such an obvious explanation for that behaviour.

The Wonderful Wizard of Aus (pex)

Fixed - but since I'm still tinkering with that, I'll hold off until there's a bit more to release.

Unless there are any violent objections

Yup, I just installed (unzipped) over the previous build.

[timns]

Do you have triggers set up? It's entirely possible to blank out the triggers altogether so that Auspex does not perform the replacement.

What I'm saying is this - do you have anything in the "Triggered by" field:



Nest question would be: is this occurring in any application? e.g. boring old Notepad - everything should work with that!

EDIT: are you just using "TAB" by any chance? Just found a bug.

[joiwind]

Yes, you're right - it's TAB. I have some triggered by just TAB and some with TAB and SPACE (I'm still testing after all...).
So SPACE works fine but it seems that ENTER won't work either.

in JP Software Take Command "aus" produces auspex (no capitalization) no matter what

What happens is that Auspex just tacks on the remainder of the word that you've already started typing, so it's only adding the 'pex' part, hence the lack of capitalisation. I should do a upper/lower case check when replacing, to see if it needs to go back to the beginning of the word.

the only way to display the window from the tray is to right-click the "tray icon/show" item; left-clicking does nothing (should it?)

As of next build, a double left click on the icon will restore the main window.

[cranioscopical]

That's not quite so.

aus[space] gets me Auspex (in text editors and Agent and who knows what else…) while it gets me auspex in JPSoftware's Take Command.

[timns]

Crikey, it's taken on a mind of its own!

In which case, we may be working in some form of "compatibility" with the JP stuff. What happens is that there are several ways that Auspex tries to add the text, and it's that last trick that just tacks on the text. Do you happen to have any of those apps set up in the Application List under Options?

Also, I'd like to know if we're doing better with things like ctrl+enter, win+G, alt-something-or-other

Tested the Ctrl-Enter issue and build 91 at least fixes that (didn't get to see build 89, just saw 91 today).

I now have 2 issues, 1st that double-clicking the systray icon doesn't restore the main screen (like others reported), and 2nd, right-click/Show pops the main screen up at my secondary monitor, to the left of my main monitor, even though it was closed when on the main monitor...

Thank you, Ath. Both of those items will be fixed in the next build (so 92 or greater).

1.1.1.91 - oh yes, TAB working, and the Wizard too...

Don't worry, we've almost stopped making wizard jokes now.

Well, I magus make one more

You go right ahead and make as many as you wand, just be careful not to make a source error.

I set 4NT, tcmd and agent to 'allow' when you mentioned that you wanted feedback about how .89 worked.
I'll see what happens with what you posted since .89
